Sal my math teacher told me why mathematicians dont like irrational numbers in the denominator and its beacuse in the past when there wasnt any calculators it was way more difficult to divide by a irrational number so if you rationalize the denominater you are then dividing by a whole number. It is much easier to divide by a whole number then a irrational number. I hope I was able to clarify this for it is the least I can do in return for much you have helped me.
Of all the Math teachers I had in school, Miss R. and Mr. A. were the only ones who sounded interested in the subject they were teaching.
Every time I got a teacher who wasn't interested, it was harder to do well in the course. For me.
Sal is like that guy who went to Cornell and got a Ph.D. in Biomolecular Chemistry and Microbiology. Every time the guy told me about a scientific theory, he sounded interested.
It helps if the teacher sounds like it's worth pursuing the subject.

Nevermind my last post I wasn't paying attention. It was late at night when I was watching this video. You were not solving for the hypotenuse but for one of the sides. Im not used to seeing it solved that way and seeing the constants worked out that way.
Wow very well said but wouldnt it just be easier to multiply one of the NON-hypotenuse legs by Square root of 2? Thanks for you explanation i never understood how that all worked till now.
I don't understand how the square root of 2 can be 2.
I'll have to watch this over and over, I can tell already.
I never took Geometry in school, 'cause the teacher told me I'd never pass it.
It isn't true. I've already made it up to this video.
I learn English & Literature faster than Math, but have found no opportunities in that field. Besides, I really really want to write computer games and work w/ graphics.
never take a math class over summer school, we go over 5 days worth of notes, test quizzes and information in 5 hours and its just not orth it. i forget most of what i learn.
Wish I could re-do my quiz now ...

Instead you should have just multiplied the 8 by root 2 to get the hypotenuse

@penguinx10 It's an equivalent expression, but I do think that he should mention that c=asqrt(2)=bsqrt(2)

Maybe one day you'll be able to make the mathematical calculations of IV Therapy make more sense than they do now.
I know how to do them, but I wish I knew why all the stuff we're calculating is coming out to those numbers.
This one doctor, in the spirit of showing us his 'superior skills,' did the calculation for making up a dose of missed Dilantin in his head.
It took him 5 minutes to go through all the calculations and I thought, Who'd wanna go through all that? It sounds monstrous.

Hmm I think I caught on something where B = 8 and C = 8 times sqrt. 2
I did some calculating and found that C will always be A or B times the sqrt. of 2.
Little something to add there. Rest I found exelent. Thanks sooo much!!

the sqrt. of 2 x the sqrt. of 2 is = 2
not the sqrt. of 2=2

The SQRT(2) isn't 2, the SQRT(2)*SQRT(2)=2 because the square root of anything times itself is the original number.
